Tall fescue looks beautiful with coarse blades and medium to dark green leaves, but it isn&#8217;t as dense as Kentucky bluegrass. Overseed it with Kentucky bluegrass at a 50:50 ratio to give your lawn a denser appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tall fescue withstands foot traffic relatively well but can\u2019t self-repair because it\u2019s bunch-forming. It grows best in full sun but can withstand partial shade. This grass has an extensive root system and resists drought exceptionally well.
